Abstract (en)

The present invention discloses a process for preparation of levosimendan. More particularly, the present invention discloses novel process for preparation of (-)-6-(4-aminophenyl)-5-methylpyridazin-3-(2H)-one from racemic 6-(4-aminophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-3-(2H)-pyridazinone using (R)-2-acetamido-3-mercaptopropanoic acid and further converting the (-)-6-(4-aminophenyl)-5-methylpyridazin-3-(2H)-one into levosimendan. The invention further relates to a novel intermediate, (R)-2-acetamido-3-mercaptopropionate salt of (-)-6-(4-aminophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-3-(2H)-pyridazinone of formula (1a) and novel crystalline polymorphic form II of levosimendan.
